Quite a few Leavers openly regretting their decision already. The margin's so narrow that it possibly wouldn't exist without that hungover crowd.
We haven't received any enquiries at work for a few days. No-one in the company has known that to happen. The line of engineering I'm in is such that there'll always be money in it for as long as there is a semblance of civilisation though, so.
Leave voters have been using their vote as a canvas on which they paint their dreams, inevitably, apart from the likes of Scumbag I suppose who have been fathoms deep into the theory and have been so since the Ukips were still Sked's centre-left party. It appears that as many have voted Out as a bid for long overdue working class prosperity, as those who have for (often racist (calling one of the usual few who will do the "Wwwaycist!!! LOL!!!" joke response here)) reasons to do with immigration. Of course there are other reasons too. With the immigration one, the figures will be about the same but with different demographics and time will tell whether the UK grows a heart/accepts that, or decides to go for even more violent borders. With the workers' rights vote, yes we'll now have the tools to work on that one, but with that hammer this coming government will crack your skull open and build your coffin, rather than your designer home.
Labour are in a wonderful position to help the UK capitalise on leaving the EU under Corbyn and McDonnell, and I hope the two bums trying to oust him have thrown themselves under the bus with that one. Fella still has a fine mandate, and if you were to accuse him of losing this referendum then it follows you should also congratulate him on bringing down Cameron. It's been known for a year now that the Blairites are ideologically dead and have run out of arguments, and who else in the PLP has spent all their political life daydreaming about the positive reform they could undertake outside the EU?
A huge disappointment is that of free movement, to me. Simply the ease of getting about Europe, and how that's allowed for the Erasmus project to indisputably benefit the entire continent. Before my brother went on his year abroad he was the sort of student who would non-ironically say "banter", and now he's taking a highly specialised, deeply fascinating Masters degree ("Oh no!" The Brexiters cry, "Not a degree!") in central Europe, certainly my intellectual superior. Terribly sad that others probably won't be getting that opportunity.
So things have gone haywire today, the current powers that be will have free reign to fuk shit up in the medium term, and the most affected people will be even more disgruntled in the longer term. Where will divide and rule go from here?
